Imperial City Ruins, opportunities refreshed daily

Chapter 10 Discovered
“There’s something good!”

Xu Hao was overjoyed.

There are three lottery positions, one is the worst, one is the middle, and one is the best. Two of them actually have earth-level opportunities.

Xu Hao suppressed his restless thoughts and checked them one by one immediately.

Although he would not choose the worst lot, he still had to check it carefully, because the chance of the lot position was secondary, and the main thing was that it contained some special information.

If used well, sometimes the worst fortune can turn into the best fortune.

"It's Villa No. 27 again? What a coincidence, and it's the area I patrol?! Last time I pretended to be a member of the White Lotus Sect and was able to gain the opportunity to become a human in the villa. This time I've changed my identity, and I'm just going to die!?" Xu Hao frowned when he read the bad fortune.

This means that there are remnants of the White Lotus Sect in the villa!
At the same time, Xu Hao also gained a deeper understanding of the stubbornness of the White Lotus Sect.

The last attack by the White Lotus Sect almost wiped out the entire army, but this time there were still some that escaped.

Moreover, if you report this escaped fish, you will gain the favor of the Ninth Princess and be rewarded with an Earth-level opportunity.

This is enough to show that the identity of the person hiding in the Twenty-Seventh Courtyard is not simple.

But at the same time, it can be seen from the results of the lottery that this person's identity is absolutely not something that can be lost for the White Lotus Sect.

Because if I tell you, my whole family will die!

Xu Hao's expression darkened.

If he had a choice, he would definitely seek asylum and ask the Ninth Princess to send people to protect him, but even so, his entire family would still be wiped out.

Perhaps, there are traitors and undercover agents among the people sent by the Ninth Princess.

"The Great Xuan Dynasty is truly full of loopholes!"

Xu Hao took a deep breath and looked at the winning lot. After making sure everything was safe, he looked down at the last good lot.

This story tells that there is a clay pot under the bed in the Twelve Courtyards, and inside the pot is actually a ground-level opportunity.

After the human level of skin, flesh, bones, blood, and marrow comes the earth level.

It is a rare treasure at the earth level.

Such a treasure is placed upright in a clay pot under the bed?

Xu Hao showed a look of joy.

As expected, there are many benefits to choosing to be a palace guard!

At the same time, Xu Hao was also satisfied with the improvement of his status, which showed that the scope of his search had expanded.

From the twenty-seventh courtyard, it can extend to the twelfth courtyard, which is at least ten thousand meters.

Last time, as an ordinary palace guard, his search range was only one thousand meters, but now it has directly expanded to ten thousand meters.

If his status is further improved, wouldn't he be able to take over the entire palace? At that time, not to mention the opportunities in the palace, even the ancient ruins under the palace that are rumored can be searched by him.

Xu Hao was looking forward to it. After thinking about it, he decided to go and explore the Twelve Courtyards.

The villa is a unique feature of the imperial palace area. It belongs to the imperial palace, but it is not the imperial palace.

Because it is usually a temporary residence for other ministers or other distinguished guests.

The flow of people is not complicated.

Xu Hao is now a small flag of the Royal Guard, and it is within his authority to go and check.

So, just be careful and it shouldn't be a problem.

Xu Hao also wanted to see what this Earth-level opportunity would be.

Xu Hao did not rush there, but waited for the night to fall.

dong dong dong.

Near dusk, Chen Changhe and ten others returned from patrol.

"Master Xiaoqi!" Ten people entered the room, stood in a row, and waited for Xu Hao's instructions.

"Team one will stay behind tonight, and team two will take a break!" Xu Hao waved his hand.

"Yes!" Everyone in Team Two immediately clasped their fists, bowed, and left.

Xu Hao looked at Chen Changhe and the other five people and chuckled, "Everyone, eat a little. It will be hard tonight!"

"Yes!" The others did not pretend and sat down immediately, sending one person to go outside to order food.

After all, they are all veterans and know the rules. What's more, this is just the outskirts of the palace. With Xu Hao here, there will be basically no problem.

Everyone ate in harmony for a while.

Xu Hao stood up and said, "I'll go for a patrol. Everyone, stop playing!" Without waiting for a response from Chen Changhe and the others, Xu Hao opened the door and walked out.

There are spacious city roads around it.

Xu Hao walked leisurely.

Although I am not very familiar with this area, there are only so many roads.

From time to time, Xu Hao could see lights shining from some strongholds on the city roads, but there were no guards on duty.

Obviously, even after the Ninth Princess's reforms, the imperial guards have been transferred to the Pacification Division, but the bad habits of the original imperial palace guards still exist.

Furthermore, everyone believed that the White Lotus Sect had been eliminated and no other forces would attack the palace, so everyone was relieved.

Xu Hao also quickly walked through some other garrisoned areas.

Soon, he arrived at the Twelve Courtyards.

The courtyard was quiet because no one lived there. Only palace maids and nannies came to clean it during the day.

It’s the middle of the night now and there’s not even a ghost in sight.

Xu Hao gently pushed open the door and slipped in.

He first stopped and waited for a moment to make sure that no one was following him, then he immediately ran towards the big bed in the main room of the villa.

Because he already knew the situation in advance, Xu Hao didn't have any extra things with him. He just moved the big wooden bed away and then inspected and explored.

Soon, Xu Hao found a gap under a floor tile.

He simply drew out his sword and thrust it hard along the gap.

Soon a clay pot appeared in front of him.

"It's true!" Xu Hao's face was full of joy.

Without hesitation, he touched the earthen jar with his hand, and then with a thought, he put it into the backpack of the virtual panel.

After Xu Hao took it away, he immediately put the floor tiles back in place and then lowered the large wooden bed.

Xu Hao looked around and made sure that nothing was missing, then he quickly walked out of the courtyard and closed the door.

"Stop!" When Xu Hao turned around, a female voice shouted.

Xu Hao's body trembled, but he quickly recovered.

Fortunately, he had a backpack, otherwise he would have been caught red-handed.

But now, he is just on duty as usual, and he is not afraid.

"Turn around!" the female voice rang out again.

Xu Hao turned around slowly.

"Yi Shisan, Xiaoqi? Is that you?" A woman dressed in the uniform of the Pacification Division looked at Xu Hao's attire, her eyes fell on the iron plate hanging around Xu Hao's waist, and she immediately showed a strange look.

Last time, she discovered that Xu Hao's luck was a little abnormal at the Zhenfu Division training ground, but now she actually saw that Xu Hao's luck had increased a little bit again.

She is a Taoist system, and has some characteristics of her own. She can identify special and ethereal luck, and her perception is even more sensitive. She can also see things that others cannot see.

That's why she was sent to patrol the surroundings.

She didn't expect that on the first night, she would actually meet the person she wanted to inquire about.

However, Tang Wan'er didn't show any expression. She just frowned and asked, "What are you doing entering the courtyard in the middle of the night?"

"I just saw a dark shadow enter the villa, so I went to investigate, but there was no one there!" Xu Hao lied.

"You're lying! I was patrolling nearby just now, how come I didn't see it?!" the woman said coldly.

"Okay, I came in to ask for money." Xu Hao spread out his hands and said sincerely.

If you can't hide it, just say it directly. Anyway, the things have fallen into the backpack and no one can take them away. Besides, it is an unwritten rule for the palace guards to extort money.

He's not the only one.

Until further evidence is found, the maximum penalty is one.

Especially in the fortune-telling information based on chance, although it says there are risks, it will not cause any big waves at all.

"Hmph, you're so straightforward!" Tang Wan'er didn't sense Xu Hao's continued lies, so she announced directly, "According to regulations, violating regulations during patrol will result in a fine of five taels of salary. Do you have any objections?"
